You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
NFC said:These guys don't know what they're talking about. They're too afraid to swallow their masculinity to even think about playing a girl a song. Playing a song like that takes balls, and it can swoon a girl off her feet, if done right. There is a time and place for everything. Just because you play a song for a girl and it says "I love you" in it, doesn't mean you love her.. I mean.. it's just a song. I don't see what the big deal is. I don't suggest it as a way of confessing your undying love.. just be slick and cool about it. If YOU want to play it for her.. then do what you want. That's what being a man is about, making your own decisions.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
It is not totally AFC.GaryUranga said:its totally afc and it could hook a girl depending on how you do it IMO, if youre gonna cofess your love thru a song to her its REALLY AFC
OK, do NOT knock songs with 3 chords. Some of the best songs in the world have only 3 chords.sexxyback said:If you are going to be a complete tool and use guitar to impress girls, at least play something that requires some skillz instead of the usual 3 chord crap.
I would suggest November Rain - all the way through including all solos.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Have you ever played/wrote a song for a girl? Are you speaking from experience? I didn't think so. So stfu. I AM speaking from experience, it can do a lot for your game if done correctly.sexxyback said:No, you don't know what you're talking about. If you want you can take this guy's advice and go play 'wonderful tonight' for this girl. Go ahead, and tell me what happens two weeks later when she tells you 'you're too nice' and starts flaking on you.
Not really. Just pentatonic wanking for the most part.Grand Wizzard Alamar said:If you can play a really well done love song at the right time, then it probably wiill have some positive effects.
Man, if I could sing... I would write the hell out of them.
lol... if you can play maggot brain you're already a master guitar player.
Yes. So you stfu. It is the most supplicating afc behavior of them all. Do you buy them flowers, too?NFC said:Have you ever played/wrote a song for a girl? Are you speaking from experience? I didn't think so. So stfu. I AM speaking from experience, it can do a lot for your game if done correctly.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
